Do You Have A Little Time?

One Tree Hill A.U.

Okay, so this is something I got the idea for yesterday when I was sitting in a restaurant where my mom works waiting for her to get done. I wanted to try this pairing out 'cause I'm liking Julian more and more every time I watch the last episode. Not with Peyton, of course, but I think Brulian could be a good pairing. Reviews are lovely and would greatly be appreciated! Oh, and the title came from a Dido song by the same name!

Prologue: Very Interesting Indeed

"Okay, kiddo...let's go," Brooke picked up her purse, the diaper bag, and the toy bag, and slung them all on her shoulder.

"Mommy, where are we going?" 4 ½ year old Tommy grabbed his stuffed puppy dog off the counter and took his mommy's hand. She pulled her keys out of the pocket in her apron and held on to his hand.

"We have to go to the store before we drop you off at your aunt and uncles so mommy can go back to work," Brooke informed her young son.

"Will Kayla be there?" Tommy asked.

"Yes, your cousin Kayla will be there," Brooke answered.

"Yay!" Tommy cheered.

"Now let's hurry so Mommy's not late," Brooke and Tommy disappeared out of the diner door.

As they left, a man sitting alone in one of the booth put his newspaper down. A stack of movie scripts lay untouched to his right and a sleek blackberry rested on his right.

A waitress came up to his table and set down a glass of orange juice, "Here's your juice, Mr. Baker. Is there anything else I can get you?"

"No, I believe that will be good. Could I have the check please?" Mr. Baker smiled.

"Okay then, I'll get it right away," The waitress walked away.

"I think Tree Hill is going to be very interesting. Very interesting indeed," Mr. Baker smiled to himself as he put his hands behind his head and leaned back comfortably. "Very interesting. I may even make a visit to the grocery store..."

To Be Continued . . .

P.S. So this is my first try with Brooke/Julian. It's just a start but I wanted to see how well it did before deciding whether or not to continue it. So what's the deal with Tommy? Who's his father? Is Brooke married, divorced, single, widowed . . .

What do you think?
